iQuestion

In preparation to "pack my bag", one item that will definitely be included is my beloved little iPod. I already have various songs and mixes that range from "new running mix" and "half" (for the Nashville half marathon), to "slow down" (that has Michael Buble and other slow stuff), but I'm looking for suggestions for my hospital music.

While I really think that some of the half marathon tunes may get me through, I feel like I've listened to them over and over and want some new stuff.

Musically speaking, I tend to gravitate back to the familiar, so my list has a bunch of music from the 80's and 90's and aside from hearing new-ish stuff on the radio, I'm a little bit out of touch. Basically, I like a little bit of everything with the exception of most country music. I know, I know. How does a girl from TN not like country?

One song that I may have to include as a joke is Push It by Salt & Pepa. Hee, hee. So, help a girl out and list some favorite tunes or artists and I'll give them a listen, so I don't end up listening to "push it real good" over and over!

My ipod is full of music from when I was in highschool. Right now though, I am really liking Josh Kelley (he's katherine heigle's husband and from really close to me). I also like Taylor Swift a lot, not just the songs on the radio either. Hope that helps!

Just don't forget toothpaste. Hospital toothpaste is disgusting! Oh and bring aspirin or advil for your husband. Just in case. The hospital will not give him any if he needs it b/c he is not the admitted patient!

Ok... I'll give you my "fun run 2" playlist from my iPod. It got me through a lot of running, so here's hoping it will help you out when you run your next "marathon!"1. Crazy Train - Ozzy2. Welcome to the Jungle - GNR3. Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard4. Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J5. Vertigo - U26. Sabatoge - Beastie Boys7. I'm Bad - LL Cool J8. Get the Party Started - Pink9. Push It - SNP10. Traveling Without Moving - Jamiroquai11. O.P.P. - Naughty By Nature12. Sexy Back - Justin Timberlake13. Bust a Move - Young MC

GOOD LUCK! I also love James Brown - Get on the Good Foot and Sex Machine :)

This was fun - looking at the songs on my iPod and thinking about giving birth! I had 2 c-sections so I guess the pushing part was not part of my birth experience but fun songs would have helped in the recovery as well as the calming music for the down times - John Mayer is a personal favorite. Here are few "fun times" songs I have on my iPod
